Crowds of Bahrainis took to the streets surrounding Imam Al-Sadiq Mosque in the Diraz area, west of the capital, Manama, to denounce the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.

The crowds raised banners and slogans in support of the Palestinian Resistance, trampled on the Israeli flag, and denounced normalization with "Israel".

Similarly, dozens of Moroccans demonstrated on Friday in front of Parliament Square in Rabat, in support of Gaza, and to condemn the heinous Israeli occupation aggression on the Strip for the fourth day in a row.

Moroccan civil organizations had called for the protest to denounce the Israeli crimes committed against the Palestinian people.

Moroccan civil organizations declared their condemnation of the Israeli aggression on Gaza and called on the Arab and Islamic nations and the free people of the world to maximize their efforts and mobilize all arenas in support of the Palestinian people in their battle against the racist Israeli occupation.

It also called on the countries that signed normalization agreements with "Israel" to immediately announce the severance of all ties with the entity, in response to "the crimes and assassinations carried out by the Zionist murder gangs."

In a related context, several other vigils were organized in support of Gaza and in rejection of the Israeli aggression, including in Denmark and in the Spanish city of Murcia. London is also set to host a demonstration on Saturday.

This comes as the Israeli occupation continues its heinous aggression against Gaza for the fourth day in a row, bombing residential apartments and several sites in the Strip since early Tuesday.

Earlier on Friday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed that the number of Palestinians killed as a result of the ongoing Israeli occupation aggression against Gaza rose to 33 martyrs, including six Resistance leaders, and 111 injured.
